Birmingham is currently ranked third from the bottom in the Premier League and is staying in the relegation zone. However, they are not very far away from the three or four teams in front of them. The maximum point difference is only three points, one game.

ball.

Therefore, Birmingham is not completely relegated now, and they still have a chance to stay in the Premier League. Of course, their current situation is not good. They must now ensure that they win all the last three rounds, and at the same time, they must also hope for the ball in front of them.

The team capsized in the ditch.

However, in the penultimate round of the league, Birmingham will play at home against Liverpool, which is currently at the top of the league. Although Liverpool is currently at the top of the league, they have not won the league championship. At this time, in order to ensure the league championship,

Liverpool will obviously be locked in a fight with Birmingham.

This is very detrimental to Birmingham's relegation, because Liverpool is much stronger than them, and it will be difficult for them to win a victory from Liverpool.

On the day of the game, all the main players of Liverpool came to Birmingham. It seemed that they were not prepared for the second leg of the Champions League three days later. This made the people of Birmingham worried. Originally, they wanted Liverpool to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League three days later.

If the game is reserved, they will have a chance to get three points from Liverpool. Now it seems that this is very difficult.

However, even if it is very difficult, they will not give up. They do not want to be relegated, they want to stay in the Premier League, so even if their opponent is Liverpool, they will have to fight. If they fight hard, at least they will have a chance. If not

Come on, they don't even have a chance.

Therefore, they are not timid, they must fight hard in this game.

Coming to the away game, Liverpool also wants to win. Now only victory can ensure that they are getting closer and closer to the final league championship.

Now the entire Liverpool team is very cautious, even nervous. Now it has reached the most critical moment. At this time, no mistakes can be made. If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game. Of course, the Liverpool people do not want to lose the game in the end.

collapse.

Qiu Ze is also working hard these days to adjust himself and put himself in the best condition. There is less than a month left in this season's competition. He hopes to persist in this last month and then get a

good result.

Before coming to Birmingham, Qiu Ze said in an interview with reporters: "No matter who our opponent is now, our first purpose is to be ourselves and bring out our own strength, so that we can go further.

.”

Other Liverpool players were also very cautious. When being interviewed by reporters, Liverpool captain Gerrard said almost the same thing as Qiu Ze. The pressure was so great that they were all breathless.

After arriving in Birmingham, the entire Liverpool team was very cautious and did not accept interviews from media reporters. They were preparing for this game wholeheartedly. Although their opponents were not strong in this game, they did not become careless.

Now, Liverpool has regarded Birmingham as a team at the level of Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea. They came here today with the attitude of fighting for Birmingham.

If Birmingham knew what the Liverpool people were thinking at this time, they would definitely faint with fright. They don't want Liverpool to think of them as Arsenal, Manchester United, or Chelsea. They want the Liverpool people to be careless so that they have a chance to win.

On the day of the game, Liverpool sent out its entire main lineup. From this, it can be seen that Liverpool must win this game. This is not good news for Birmingham.

The reason why the Liverpool people dare to do this is because they know that Chelsea will definitely not retain it in this round of competition. Because their opponent is Manchester United. At this time, Chelsea has not given up the competition for the league championship. In this way,

Chelsea certainly wouldn't dare to hold anything back during a game.

Benitez knew that Chelsea's players must be more exhausted than their Liverpool counterparts, so he sent all the main players to fight Birmingham.

Liverpool played with all their main players, and it should be very easy to defeat Birmingham. Benitez sat on the sidelines with a very relaxed expression. He thought they could win this game easily.

However, just three minutes into the game, their Liverpool team conceded the goal. At that time, Benitez was confused. Today's luck was too bad.

This is an own goal!

Liverpool centre-back Comrade Carragher finished the game with a goal, but the goal was not attributed to Liverpool, but to Birmingham, because the goal he scored was his own goal.

After Birmingham's full midfielder broke through from the wing, he swept the football into Liverpool's penalty area with a sweeping kick. This guy used all his strength in this cross pass. It seemed that this guy was not

It's more like a pass than a shot, because the ball is so fast and powerful.

The football rolled close to the turf and quickly rolled into Liverpool's penalty area. Such a pass is very dangerous because the ball speed is too fast. As long as someone in the penalty area touches it even slightly, something very unexpected will happen.

A pass like this puts a lot of pressure on the goalkeeper and center back of the defending team, because they dare not touch it, and a touch is likely to result in an own goal.

Carragher, who was in the front, had no intention of touching the football, but the Birmingham forward behind him was already waiting. He knew that if he didn't touch it, the Birmingham forward behind him would definitely stretch his foot and shoot, which is very dangerous.

Therefore, in order not to give the Birmingham striker behind him a chance, Carragher fell directly to the ground and stretched his legs to shovel the football, trying to shovel the football out of the baseline.

But the ball was too fast and too powerful. The football hit Carragher's foot hard. Carragher's foot deformed under the huge force, and then the football refracted and flew against the near post of Liverpool's goal.

Got into the goal.

One to zero, the Birmingham team miraculously took the lead against the powerful Liverpool team, and the scene was immediately filled with the hoarse shouts and roars of the Birmingham fans.

This start is simply too dreamy for Birmingham. They are very excited. Now they have hope of relegation. Being able to defeat Liverpool will definitely give them great confidence in their relegation. The Birmingham fans at the scene cheered wildly.

Although the goal conceded was a bit unexpected, the Liverpool people were not knocked down. In their view, the goal conceded was not a big deal. The game had just begun and they had plenty of opportunities to change the score. At this time, they were full of confidence.

After the game restarted, Liverpool began to attack with all their strength. They did not want to leave here losing. Now Liverpool cannot afford to lose a game or lose a point. Now they must ensure victory for the sake of the league championship.

On the sidelines, Rafael Benitez no longer sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He stood up and stood on the sidelines urging the Liverpool players to attack. Failure was unacceptable to him, and failure was unacceptable to the Liverpool team.

of.

Liverpool launched a ferocious attack and quickly pushed Birmingham back into the half, and the game began to enter a half-time offensive and defensive drill mode.

Now with a ball in hand, Birmingham certainly no longer had to fight with Liverpool. Birmingham chose to retreat and defend, parking a bus in front of their own goal. They hoped to maintain this one-goal advantage until the end.

Keep it until the end of the game.

Yes, Birmingham's choice is very correct. If they attack Liverpool, they will definitely be blocked. Now that they choose to defend, they still have a chance of winning.

However, it was obvious that Liverpool would not let Birmingham win, and Liverpool launched a ferocious attack.

Liverpool's attack was very oppressive and full of threats. Birmingham's defensive players were under great pressure, and their movements gradually became louder. They began to use fouls to disrupt Liverpool's fierce offensive.

In fact, this is also a good method, but the price paid is also very high. Only twenty minutes into the first half, four people from Birmingham received yellow cards. If the foul continues like this, Birmingham is likely to be

The referee killed several people.

Therefore, gradually the Birmingham people began to restrain themselves again, but once the Birmingham people did not foul, the Liverpool people's offensive threat came towards the Birmingham team again, which made the Birmingham defensive players mentally and physically exhausted.

At this moment, in the 30th minute of the first half, Liverpool's full-back Kuyt caught the pass from midfielder Qiu Ze, sprinted down the wing, broke through Birmingham's full-back, and then directly

Playing the ball from the wing.

The football flew quickly into Birmingham's penalty area, and Birmingham's defensive players were nervous. In the penalty area, Liverpool's Spanish forward Fernando Torres jumped high and pushed the football towards Birmingham's gate. However, the football hit Birmingham.

The defensive player's back bounced out.

However, the football just bounced at the feet of Qiu Ze who was rushing towards the penalty area. Facing the incoming ball, Qiu Ze did not hesitate and directly volleyed the football towards the far lower corner of the goal. The football was close to the turf.

It flew over the Birmingham goal and into the far blind corner.

One to one, Liverpool equalized the score, and the Birmingham fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh. It can be seen that the gap between Birmingham and Liverpool is really huge. They can't beat Liverpool at all. To be able to play like this, they

Birmingham has been very lucky.

At the end of the first half, Birmingham drew 1-1 with Liverpool at home. In the second half of the game, Birmingham still defended. They hoped to get at least one point. One point is still very important for Birmingham to avoid relegation.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool once again broke through Birmingham's goal. The goal was scored by Liverpool's Spanish forward Fernando Torres. After catching Gerrard's pass in the frontcourt, this guy broke through twice in a row.

He rushed into the penalty area and succeeded in volleying directly in front of the goalkeeper. The football passed through the Birmingham goalkeeper's crotch and rolled into the goal.

Two to one, Liverpool took the lead and the Birmingham fans were almost crying.

At this time, Rafael Benitez began to make frequent substitutions in preparation for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals three days later. Qiu Ze, Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso were substituted one after another.

Liverpool has started semi-main force mode.

Benitez thought that Liverpool had already won this game. However, in the last minute of the game, Birmingham miraculously equalized the score. This time it was still a Liverpool player who scored the goal. This is another

It's an own goal.

Birmingham launched a fierce counterattack at the last minute. In the last minute of injury time, the ball was directly kicked from the wing and drove into the Liverpool penalty area. In the penalty area, Liverpool's Argentinian midfielder Mascherano was high

Jump up and block the ball.

However, the football hit this guy hard, changed direction, and flew into the Liverpool goal like a ghost.

Two to two, Birmingham was extremely lucky to get a hard-earned draw at their home court.

Liverpool, on the other hand, got a draw in the away game by accident, which made Liverpool's head coach Rafael Benítez very angry. This was such bad luck. There were two own goals at once. Oh my god.

Ah, is there any more unlucky luck than this? Rafael Benitez almost fainted out of breath.
